This month on Something Swanky, I've been sharing something I'm grateful for with every post. I'd love to carry that over to Somewhat Simple today (it seems like the month is passing so quickly, I'm afraid I'll never get to post about all of my favorite things I'm grateful for)!! Today, I'm feeling especially grateful for sisters. I'm the oldest of 6 kids, and my only sister is the second to youngest child. There are 11 years between us, and I felt more and more doomed to a life surrounded … [Read more...]

One of my favorite things to do around this time of year is watch Christmas movies. They get me in the holiday spirit almost as fast as the crazy Target Lady can! I have loved them for as long as I can remember.
